YFLO Kolkata, under the leadership of Chairperson Ms. Ankita Chitlangia, organized an annual retreat, this time to the holy and breathtaking Rishikesh — a journey that was serene, soulful, and filled with unforgettable moments.
The stay was at the stunning Taj Rishikesh, where FLO members were welcomed with traditional rituals, setting the tone for a spiritually enriching experience. The evening unfolded with a private Ganga Aarti, an ethereal ceremony that left everyone deeply moved.

The next morning began on a mindful note with a sound healing session followed by yoga, where every vibration and breath brought a sense of calm and connection.
